Delaware Adult Clinic Information

The Christiana Care Adult Down Syndrome Clinic at the Rocco A. Abessinio Family Wilmington Health Center began seeing adult patients in September 2015. The clinic will not be a primary care clinic but will pull together a comprehensive, interdisciplinary team to address the specific needs of adults with Down Syndrome. The physician providers include Dr. Lou Bartoshesky and Dr. Mary Stephens. The team will work closely with the person with Down Syndrome, their family, community resources and with the primary care provider and other healthcare providers to help meet any unmet care needs and provide a comprehensive evaluation.

To schedule an appointment or if you have questions, please call 302-623-4593, option 1.
